Trilliant Holdings Inc. (“Trilliant”) and its affiliates are committed to protecting the privacy of personal information provided to us by our customers, employees and visitors to our website and work to continue improvements to and transparency around the ways we may collect, process, use and share personal information.
Trilliant works with its global customers and partners to comply with regional data privacy rules. In particular we have addressed at the end of this policy special rules applicable to persons from the European Economic Area (EEA) and data privacy rules in Colombia, the home of recently-established Trilliant Networks Colombia S.A.S. If you have any questions or concerns or other general questions about our use of your personal information, please contact us as detailed below or click here.
This policy shall apply to employees at all our offices globally and will be assigned as required reading to all employees.
We may collect personal information that falls into four broad categories: what you provide voluntarily, information collected automatically, data from third parties, and other sources such as your visits to a Trilliant office or event. Each is discussed below.
A number of Trilliant operations will ask for contact information in order to provide information and services. “Contact Information” as used in the policy may include the following: name, job title, email address, phone, company affiliation, company address. Importantly, Trilliant never sells Contact Information.
Identifiers / Account registration. When you create a customer support ticket, we collect and use the contact details you supply to respond to the ticket. Contact Information as well as any User ID, password hints and similar security information required for authentication and access to our customer support platforms.
Enquiries. Visitors to www.trilliant.com, our public facing website, who use the “Contact Us” feature to request information are asked to supply Contact Information that we use to respond to the question (and for no other purpose).
Recruitment. Job applications can be submitted on the Trilliant website and will include the applicant’s Contact Information, professional qualifications, summary of education and work experience. This information is used only to review and respond to the application.
Commercial and customer information. Trilliant collects Contact Information about its customers, vendors and other business partners in the normal course of contracting, product ordering and delivery, customer support, invoicing and similar commercial activities. Such information is used to conduct Trilliant commercial operations.
www.Trilliant.com. Prior to 2023 Trilliant did not automatically collect information via its website. Beginning in 2023, website visitors will be asked to accept or decline cookies. Cookie information is stored in the visitor’s browser and performs functions such as recognizing a visitor returning to our website and helping Trilliant understand which sections of the website are most interesting and useful.
Trilliant products do NOT collect personal information. Trilliant provides networks enabling wireless communication of data, such as electricity usage, between the consumer and utility. The Trilliant system only collects meter id numbers and electricity quantities. The utility matches that data (which may include personal information) in its data base to generate bills and provide other services such as remotely “turning on” electricity service at a customer’s location. The Trilliant network does not collect any data identifying the customer or the customer’s address. If it is necessary to perform technical troubleshooting, a utility may provide Trilliant’s services team access to the data in the utility’s system but such data is transferred to Trilliant’s control.
From time to time, Trilliant receives personal information from third party sources such as:
In each of the cases just described, we will collect information only where we are satisfied that you consented or that the third party is legally permitted or required to disclose your information to us.
Should you choose to provide us with a third party’s personal Information, we ask that you ensure that you have the third party’s permission to do so.
We may collect personal information if you visit one of our offices, for example, via security cameras, sign in processes and identification checks. These steps are taken to safeguard visitors and employees, as well as Trilliant assets.
Trilliant does not share your personal information with third parties for telemarketing, e-mail or direct mail solicitation. We never sell your data. We may disclose your personal information as follows:
During the preceding 12-months, we have shared the following categories of personal information for a business purpose to provide features and services:
Such disclosures are made only when necessary to enable the third party to perform services for Trilliant, such as maintaining or servicing accounts, delivering customer service, processing or fulfilling orders, processing payments and providing analytic services.
Again, we do not sell personal information to third parties or share it to enable direct marketing.
Sometimes factors beyond our control make it impossible to ensure that your personal information is not be disclosed to third parties; no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. For example, third parties may circumvent our security measures to unlawfully intercept or access your personal information. You may also link from our website to a third party websites where we have no control over or responsibility for information collection. You should consult and understand their privacy policies independently.
We use technical and organizational measures to protect personal information designed to provide security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal
information. Specific measures include encrypting your personal information in transit and at rest. Even though we take significant steps to ensure that your personal information is not collected, used, or disclosed by us except explained in this Policy, technical mistakes are possible. If a mistake occurs, we will take commercially reasonable steps to correct it.
Our business is global, and so we transfer personal information across borders. Your personal information may be processed in countries other than the country in which you reside. However, we have taken measures safeguard your personal information including implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for transfers of personal information between our group companies, which require those companies to process information in accordance with European Union data protection law. Those SCCs also comply with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
